Furthermore, in the untreated control group, the gastric mucosa is intact and no observed ulceration seen with foveolar, parietal, and
chief cells in normal conditions (Figure 3a).
The
chief cells and the oxyntic cells can be made out in the gastric glands.
Photomicrograph showing
chief cells, which are nonimmunoreactive for CAM 5.
2005) (12) quoted oxyphil cells as less numerous than the
chief cells.
If a significant injury is introduced in cell cultures or in animal models, more
chief cells become stem cells, making it possible to fix the damage.
The normal paraganglia consists of nests of
chief cells (type1) and sustentacular cells (type 2).
Histologically, there is usually a single mass, which is most often composed of
chief cells that are surrounded by an uninvolved or atrophic rim of parathyroid tissue (figure 1), with or without a separating fibrous connective tissue capsule.
The parietal cells were brighter with central nuclei and appeared distinct from the
chief cells.
Chief cells normally produce digestive fluids for the stomach.
5) The adult parathyroid is composed predominantly of
chief cells, as well as oxyphilic cells, which are mitochondria rich, and transitional oxyphilic cells, which appear to represent an intermediate phase from
chief cell to oxyphilic cell.
